An Efficient Downlink Channel Estimation Approach for TDD Massive MIMO Systems

Abstract: Abstract-In this paper, the channel estimation problem for the downlink massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system is considered. Motivated by the observation that the channels in massive MIMO systems always exhibit sparsity and the path delays vary slowly in one uplink-downlink process, we propose a novel channel estimation method under the framework of the weighted compressive sensing. Unlike the conventional methods which do not make use of any a priori information or assume the path delays are invariab… Show more

“…The signals are coherently combined and coordinated at the receiving antennas. However, this process requires the perfect CSI at the BS from the UL channel [32][33]. To improve the capacity of massive MIMO systems, spectral resources were reused in different cells.…”

“…Things are getting worse at the user terminal (UT) side where each user has to accurately estimate channels from the large number of BS antennas. For this reason, the time division duplex (TDD) mode is more desirable for massive MIMO systems, where the acquired uplink CIR at the BS can be directly fed back to the users thanks to the channel reciprocity in slow time-varying channels [2] or used as basis to obtain the downlink CIR in fast time-varying channels [3]. In this way, the heavy overhead of the pilots in the downlink transmission as well as the battery power consumption at the user terminal for channel estimation can be saved.…”
